Chapter 29 (560) The Priesthood
After Arisa came up from the steps, she took a few breaths and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then looked left and right, as if she was looking for something.
However, after seeing the torii gate at Kanda Shrine, Arisa seemed to forget her fatigue all of a sudden, and she smiled like a blooming sunflower.
Then, Arisa noticed Chu Yue in a witch costume and trotted towards Chu Yue.
However, after arriving in front of Chu Yue, Arisa found out that this witch lady was actually Chu Yue!
"That...... Yes! Chu, Chu Yue, senior? The last two words, Arisa said in an extremely low voice, but they were still heard by Chu Yue.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yue looked at Arisa with a smile.
"Ah, that ......" Arisa blushed a little, lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "Arisa I, I didn't expect it to be Sister Chuyue......"
"Huh? Isn't it a senior? Chu Yue asked.
"That ......" Arisa still blushed, peeked at Chu Yue, and then said, "Actually, I planned to go to Otonogizaka Academy in high school, so I ......"
"Oh, I see." Chu Yue still smiled, "Now the high school willingness is that the number of people in our school is very small, so as long as you apply for the exam, you can pass." ”
"Is it really that serious?" Arisa also frowned slightly, as if she was also worried about the future of Otonogizaka Academy.
"Well, it may be a blow to Arisha, but it's serious." Chu Yue said.
"I often see my sister worrying about this matter at home...... "Arisa said, and looked up at Chu Yue again: "However, I believe that as long as Chu Yue's seniors and μ's are here, there will definitely be a lot of new students in Otonoza Academy next year!" ”
"Well, thank you." Chu Yue smiled and said, "By the way, you're here to find the shrine, right?" Please come in and visit the shrine inside. ”
"Hmm!" Arisa nodded to Chu Yue, walked past Chu Yue, and while looking from side to side freshly, she exclaimed and said, "This is a shrine in Japan......"
Chu Yue also continued to sweep the floor, thinking to herself: Arisa actually came here to worship, is it planning to pray for her sister? Or is it for μ's?
Just thinking like this, Chu Yue felt that someone was pulling his clothes behind him.
When I looked back, I saw that it was still Arisha.
"That, Arisa doesn't know how to worship yet, senior Chu Yue, can you teach me?"
Looking at Arisha's cute appearance, Chu Yue felt healed.
"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded.
Bringing Arisa to the cash box, Chu Yue said to Arisa as she did it, "First of all, you have to bow and salute. ”
Seeing Chu Yue bowing, Arisa followed suit.
Then, go up and shake the bell. However, some shrines don't have bells, so if you don't have one, you don't have to shake it. ”
Arisa stepped forward and shook the bell.
"Then there's the incense money." Chu Yue said, "You can spend as much as you want, but it's usually five yen, because the pronunciation in Japanese is similar to the pronunciation of fate, so I think it's more auspicious." ”
Because Chu Yue was wearing a witch costume and didn't bring money, she didn't do a demonstration this time. However, Arisa seemed to be ready for it, taking out the five-day tour from her pocket and putting it in the cash box.
"The next step is 'two salutations, two clappings, one salutation', which means bowing twice, then clapping twice, remembering to clap oh, then clasping your hands together in prayer, and after the prayer is over, bow again."
With Chu Yue as a demonstration, Arisa is also doing a good job.
After the prayer was over, Arisa continued to look at Chu Yue.
"This is the end of the visit." Chu Yue said, "Of course, you generally have to bow before entering and leaving the shrine, and there are also clean hands and the like, but it doesn't matter if you don't have to be strict in your daily worship." ”
"It's over." Arisa breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, Arisa can continue to wander around here, and I still have to clean up, so I'll be out of company." Chu Yue said.
"That, Senior Chu Yue." Arisa asked.
"Huh?"
"After Senior Chu Yue's work is over, is there anything else?"
"Recently, because μ's had a troublesome thing, I don't have anything to do for the time being." Chu Yue said.
"So, can I invite you to my house?"
"Huh? Go to your house? Chu Yue said, "It's not impossible...... Why invite me, though? ”
"For, thank you Senior Chu Yue for your teaching today." Arisa said, "Actually, and, that, I want to spend a little more time with Chu Yue's senior, who is the core figure of μ's......"
"I'm glad you like μ's so much, but your sister, grow her ......"
"Sister, is she very strict in school?"
"Normally, it's more serious." Chu Yue said with a smile.
Listening to Chu Yue's words, Arisa lowered her head and was a little depressed.
Looking at Arisa like this, Chu Yue couldn't help but touch Arisha's head again and said, "Okay, I know." Then ask Arisa to wait until I finish my work. ”
The disappointment in Arisha's eyes was suddenly swept away, and she nodded vigorously: "Hmm! ”
Although the work was completed relatively quickly today, it was already dark. So after Chu Yue changed back into the school uniform, she said to Arisa with some apologies: "I'm sorry, Arisha, it's so late." ”
"It's okay, Senior Chu Yue, let's go quickly." Arisa looked happy, took Chu Yue's hand and left.
Chu Yue smiled helplessly and walked with Arisha.
It didn't take long for the two to arrive at Ayase's house.
"Mom, I'm back." Arisa said when she came in.
"Welcome back." A young woman with black hair came to the door, saw Chu Yue and said, "Oh? Are there any guests? ”
"This is Chu Yue's senior, who is in the same school as her sister. Be an important member of μ's! Arisa introduced Chu Yue to her mother.
"Excuse me." Chu Yue said.
"Come on in." Arisha's mother smiled at Chu Yue and said, "You must be hungry, right?" Eri should be back soon, so when she does, we'll have dinner together. ”
"Huh? Eri ...... Senior, haven't you come back yet? Chu Yue was a little surprised.
"yes. It seems that because of the closure of the school, the student council has been very busy lately. ”
"President, it's really hard." Chu Yue said.
"Then, Senior Chu Yue, come to my room first!" Arisa said.
After Arisa came to Arisha's bedroom, Chu Yue found that although this room was relatively large, there was not much furniture, and it was plain like a student bedroom of an ordinary family.
"Well, actually, when I first came to Japan, I didn't feel comfortable living here. Since my family speaks both Japanese and Russian, there is no language barrier...... Although there is no language barrier, I feel very bad every day. ”
"At this time, I saw μ's dance on the Internet." Arisa said, recalling the first time she saw μ's dance, "It's not perfect, but it's just working so hard to μ's, and it immediately attracted me...... It gave me courage. ”
"Later, I gradually got to know μ's and each member. Although most people only know that μ's has a legendary member who has never shown his face, few people know that this mysterious member is Chu Yue's senior. ”
Arisa said, searching the computer.
It turned out that Chu Yue's existence was not as mysterious as the legend suggested. After all, Chu Yue just didn't go to power, not didn't show up. Whether it was a concert in Akihabara, or going to the door of the UTX Academy to which A-RISE belongs, someone noticed Chu Yue's.
Coupled with the revelations of the people in Otonogizaka Academy's own study, Chu Yue's identity naturally can't be hidden.
It's just that if you are not a senior μ's fan, it is difficult to find Chu Yue's information.
"Thank you." Chu Yue smiled at Arisa and said.
"Actually, sister, she's under a lot of pressure." Arisa talked about Eri again, "Otonogizaka Gakuin is grandma's alma mater, and my sister is the student council president, so ......"
"yes, I understand." Chu Yue nodded, and saw Arisha's worried sister's appearance, so she changed the topic and said, "Does Arisa want to meet the other members of μ's?" ”
"Is that okay?" Arisa had a look of surprise.
"Of course." Chu Yue said, "I'm here." ”
Arisha's face was full of anticipation.
At this time, Eri's voice came from downstairs: "I'm back." ”
At the dinner table, although Eri was a little dissatisfied with Chu Yue's arrival, her good tutor made Eri not say much, nor did she show her hostility towards Chu Yue, but she talked less......
Although she was very happy to be a guest at Ayase's house, Eri's appearance made Chu Yue feel a little embarrassed. So not long after dinner, Chu Yue said goodbye to Arisa and Ayase's mother.
At night, Chu Yue lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Looking back at the computer on the table, Chu Yue couldn't help but climb down from the bed and open the composition software......
For the next few days, nothing special happened.
However, after a few days of tutoring, it was obvious that the three of them couldn't stand it.
One morning, Hika called Honoka and Rin to a corner under a staircase.
"I said, let's go practice at noon, shall we?" Hika said.
"But, yesterday after school, Senior Xi said let's go to the activity room to study at noon, right?" Sui Naiguo said.
"Yes, Hika-senpai, Nozomi is very scary......"
"What's the matter, we're not lazy, it's not that we don't study, just practice, if we don't practice for so long, our body will regress." Hika said.
"But, it's not good......" Suino Guo was still a little hesitant.
"I don't think it's good to meow ...... too," Rin too.
"If we were lazy, Chu Yue might educate us, but we went to practice." Hinata said, "Chu Yue definitely won't say anything. As for the ...... If you care too much about her, you can't be an idol! ”
"Say, that's what you say......" Honogo said.
"Well, then we'll ...... at noon," Rin said.
"Hmm!" Hinata said, "Let's go to the rooftop and practice together!" ”
At noon, Otonogizaka College, rooftop.
The sun was shining high in the sky, and there were no extra clouds to obstruct it, and the sun shone well on the rooftop.
"What a dazzling sun." Sui Naiguo said.
"Is it summer...... Rin said.
"Okay, let's try to push the limits!" Hika said.
After the three of them finished speaking, they were just about to start practicing, when they heard Nozomi's voice coming from the door: "What are you doing?" I remember someone agreed with me to study in the activity room at noon, right? ”
Before it started, he was caught by the demon king Xi, and the three of them were scared half to death, and they all began to defend themselves.
"No, of course we do, although we do......" Hono said.
"I feel that if I move my body a little, it's good for my mind...... "Rin said.
"I, I was just dragged over by them!" Hika directly began to sell teammates.
"Ah, liar, it's clear that Hika-senpai invited us!"
"yes, what else do you say, if you care about your predecessors, you can't be an idol or something......"
"Don't just talk nonsense, okay?"
"Really?" King Xi finally spoke, "Well, it doesn't matter who said it. Because, anyway, they all have to be trained together! Hey, hey, hey, hey! With that, Nozomi stretched out his claws.
"Wow——!!"
On the other side, in the second-grade classroom, Chu Yue was talking to Hai Wei.
Chu Yue told Hai Wei about Eri, and showed Hai Wei the ballet dance video when Hai Wei was a child.
Seeing this, Haiwei was silent, and finally understood why Eri didn't like μ's all along.
"If we can have half the dance skills of our predecessors...... "I will definitely be able to attract the audience......
"I'm sorry, but I was too arrogant and didn't make better improvements to the dance...... Chu Yue said.
Hai Wei hurriedly said: "Ah, no, I'm sorry! Chu Yue! I didn't blame you...... Without you, we wouldn't be able to get there now, so how can I blame you......"
"I know, I understand." Chu Yue patted Hai Wei on the shoulder, "But, μ's at the moment, there are more important things, right?" ”
Hai Wei was stunned.
"Exam, five days to go." Chu Yue said, "To be honest, I'm really worried about Sui Naiguo's ......."
"......" Haiwei was silent.
After school.
After the practice of the archery club was over, Haiwei pushed open the door of the club's classroom: "Honoka! ”
Sui Naiguo stuck his head out of a pile of books, his eyes were dull: "Haiwei ......"
"From today onwards, I will live at Suinoguo's house!" Hai Wei pointed to Sui Naiguo and said, "Urge you to study!" ”
"Huh?!" Honoka's spirit was suddenly awakened.
"Rin too." Chu Yue followed and said, "Huayang, you have to supervise her at home." ”
"Meow!" Rin is about to blow up.
"It's the same with you." Nozomi said to Hika.
"You, you're going to my house too?" Hinata is shocked.
"Not really." Nozomi said, "But if I find out you're lazy......"
As he spoke, Nozomi stretched out his claws......
"Wow!"
These times have also let everyone know that Nozomi's ability is very strong. Originally, Chu Yue planned to tutor Hika with Nozomi, but she didn't expect that Nozomi would be able to tutor Hika alone, and she could also supervise Honogo and Rin by the way.
Therefore, Chu Yue has always gone to the shrine to work instead of Xi, and did not stay in the club classroom.
However, after returning in the evening, Chu Yue was not idle and continued to compose music.
Chu Yue could feel that the next time, the next live, would start soon after the exam......
But until then......
……
The day before the exam.
Chu Yue's part-time job as a witch maiden is over today.
Xi also came very early today, and even changed into a witch costume to help Chu Yue.
"Today, is it so early?" Chu Yue asked.
"Well, it's the last day, and I'll let them go back early to rest." Nozomi said.
"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded.
Seeing that Chu Yue didn't show any special expression, Xi asked a little strangely: "Chu Yue, you don't seem to be worried?" ”
"Well, I trust them." Chu Yue said, "I also believe in Xi seniors." ”
"Really?" Xi was stunned for a moment.
"After all, the title of Demon King Xi is not nonsense." Chu Yue joked, "A pair of Demon King Dragon Claw Hands, it's rare to meet an opponent in μ's." ”
"Oh?" Xi showed a wicked smile, "Then, Chu Yue, do you want to taste it too!" ”
As he spoke, Xi pounced towards Chu Yue.
However, Chu Yue had expected it, and with a flash backwards, he dodged Xi's dragon claw hand.
"Hehe, if you want to arrest me, senior, you still have to cultivate again." Chu Yue smiled.
"Look at the move! Hey! Nozomi pounced again.
After a few plays, Xi was also tired, but seeing that Chu Yue was still calm and relaxed, he had to obey.
At this time, the work was completed, and the two went to change their clothes and prepare to leave.
Walking out of the shrine and going down the steps, Chu Yue suddenly stopped.
"Nozomi senior, can I ask you to help me with my divination?" Chu Yue asked.
"Oh? Didn't you say you weren't worried? Nozomi said with a smile.
"It's not the divination spikes." Chu Yue said, "It's Eri." ”
"Eri?" Nozomi was a little surprised, "What do you want to divination?" ”
"Nozomi senior, I guess I know Eri better than I do." Chu Yue said, "What I want to divinate is Eri's true thoughts. ”
Xi was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally shook his head with a wry smile: "Chu Yue, do you mean that?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded.
"Then where is the need for divination?" Xi looked at Chu Yue and said, "You already knew, didn't you?" ”
"Sure enough." Chu Yue said, "So...... What about Nozomi seniors? ”
"Me?" Xi was stunned again, and then suddenly laughed, "Haha, Chu Yue, you are really ...... It's worthy of μ's agent, amazing! ”
"I'm much more relieved to get the confirmation of Nozomi's seniors." Chu Yue said with a smile.
"It's you." Xi looked at Chu Yue, "You know what? Soon after the start of school, every time I saw you, I would do a divination on you. ”
"Really?" Chu Yue asked curiously, "What was the result?" ”
"As a result, it's the 'priesthood.'" Nozomi said, "No matter what time you divination, the result is the same." Every time, it's the 'priests.'" ”
"Priest?" Chu Yue said.
"A priest represents a person who is full of wisdom, has a keen insight, has accurate intuition, and is even able to predict the future." Xi explained, "So, I've always believed in you, Chu Yue. ”
"Priest...... ......" Chu Yue seemed to think of something.
Priest, the corresponding meaning in the tarot cards, is as Nozomi explains. However, the priest that Chu Yue knew was the one who conveyed the will of God in ancient times......
Chu Yue said in her heart: I always feel that I really want to forget something important.
"Chu Yue?" Xi called Chu Yue.
"Huh?" Chu Yue came back to her senses.
"What are you thinking?" Nozomi asked.
"Nothing." Chu Yue shook her head and said in her heart: Let's take care of the things in front of us first.
"Then, I'll go back." Nozomi said, "See you tomorrow." ”
"Goodbye, Nozomi-senpai." Chu Yue said.
……
Finally, all the exams are over. Soon, the test papers were also handed out.
After school in the afternoon, when Honogo arrived at the club classroom, it happened that everyone arrived except himself. Moreover, except for Chu Yue, who was still smiling, everyone else looked at them with serious eyes.
"How?" Mahime asked.
"Today, the test papers for all subjects have been distributed, and the results are known, right?" Hai Wei said.
"Hono jam!" Little Bird also said.
"Rin passed!" Rin said.
"You're not going to let all our efforts come to naught!" Even Hinata said so.
"How's that!" Everyone spoke together.
"Well, well, calm down." Chu Yue calmed everyone.
"Hmm...... Although I still want to take the test better......" Sui Naiguo said, taking out his math test paper from his school bag: "Huh! ”
The test paper is written with a red pen: 53 (50 points to pass mathematics at Otonogizaka Academy).
Finally, everyone laughed together.
"Okay, it looks like everyone is working hard." Chu Yue said to everyone.
"Chu Yue Chu Yue, we can continue to practice now!" Sui Naiguo said.
"Of course." Chu Yue nodded, "Everyone, well done!" ”
"Yay!" Everyone cheered together.
"It's finally time to practice!" Sui Nao Guo said, and rushed out of the classroom first.
"Lovelive......" Hua Yang also walked out of the classroom.
"We're just getting started." Mahime said.
"Meow!" Rin ran past the two of them.
Hika, Little Bird, and Hai Wei also walked past the two of them.
The last one to come out was Chu Yue, who hurriedly stopped everyone first: "Wait a minute, don't rush to practice first, let's go to the chairman's office first, report to the chairman, and confirm our permission to attend lovelive." ”
"Yes!" Everyone replied together.
Chu Yue turned around and locked the door, and then came to the door of the chairman's office with everyone.
It was still Chu Yue who knocked on the door first, but no one inside responded.
However, a loud voice could be heard from the outside: "How can it! Please explain why! ”
When Chu Yue heard this, she quietly opened the door a crack, and everyone came to the crack of the door together.
"I'm sorry." Kazuko Minami, the chairman of the board of directors, said to Eri in front of him, "However, this is already a matter of decision. Otonokizaka College will no longer enroll students and dissolve the school from next year. ”
Everyone in μ's froze when they heard this.
Even Eri didn't know what to answer for a while.
At this time, Chu Yue knocked on the door again: "Excuse me." ”
